After a long stressful week at work, we decided to sweat it out. We heard that Sto Tomas in Tuba Benguet is a place for hikers so that's where we headed. We woke up early to prepare, bought baon in goodtaste and was at the jeep terminal at 8AM. We have know idea how to get there so we asked around. Apparently there are two options you can choose, ride Sto Tomas,Cabuyao jeep and it will take you straight to the top, so if your intention is to hike ride the Green Valley jeep up to the check point. From there- let the fun begin :)
When we arrived at the check point it was freezing cold, but that's okay- after a few minutes of walking it felt warm that we needed to take off our sweatshirts. The view was amazing- you are literally on top of the world, overlooking the City of Baguio. There are very few vehicles so the air is definitely fresher :D.
The walk was very tiring but with music and the crazy people im with, it was all worth it. Plus think about all the calories it can burn :D
Finally we arrived on top. We saw the station of the cross and the satellites (nothing really special about the satellites :)) Sun was hot. We walked a little further to look for a place to rest, men there werent any good spots, until we reached PAG ASA office. Luckily- there's not a lot of vehicles going there so we positioned our picnic mat right on the road :D It was a great choice after all because from here you can see China Sea, amazing view. It was just 11:30 AM but we decided to eat lunch- mmm, delicious.
We finished eating at 12PM and laid down to relax.We noticed that the clouds are already crowding in on us this early. Weather is getting cold, felt great- like dancing with the clouds. But with all the excitement better head home before it will rain :)
